PlayReady IE11 Streams not working

[hussam-i-am]

Have you read the FAQ and checked for duplicate issues:

What version of Shaka Player are you using: 2.1.1

Can you reproduce the issue with our latest release version: Yes

Can you reproduce the issue with the latest code from master: Didn't try

Are you using the demo app or your own custom app: Both

If custom app, can you reproduce the issue using our demo app: With some streams

What browser and OS are you using: IE11 / Windows 10

What did you do?

Shaka Demo Page: Trying to load Axinom Multi-DRM on IE11. Works in EDGE.
Custom App: Emailed Playready stream with custom headers. Also, works on EDGE, but not on IE11.

Both produce the RESTRICTIONS_CANNOT_BE_MET error.

NOTE: Seems like none of the Playready/Multi-DRM streams are working on IE11, producing different errors.

Please try the latest release. We fixed PlayReady-related issues in v2.1.3, and we just released v2.1.4 today.

Fwiw I've seen the same behaviour in IE11 and Tizen because the polyfill uses the fake KEY_ID_, same as #884. Although playback still works, at least in some cases.

[joeyparrish]

Ah, that make sense. This is probably a duplicate of #884, then, for a different platform.

If that is the case, I would expect playback to work on content where all video streams use the same key ID, or in cases where the key IDs are not in the manifest but all keys are returned in the license.

One way or another, we need to make sure Shaka Player works as well as it can without key statuses.

[joeyparrish]

I believe the same root cause is at work in both this issue and #884, and that a solution to this will work around #891.

[hussam-i-am]

Just checking in, will this be released soon?

[joeyparrish]

I'm sorry we haven't made a release lately. Due to vacations and illness, I've been falling behind on things. I believe this can be cherry-picked cleanly to v2.1.x and be released in v2.1.5, either this week or next week.

Thanks for the update, feel better!
